Re: showing graphics from command line run

[Yury Tarasievich]

Thank you! With 'pause' the script actually 
shows the graphics; sleep(1) serves fine, too.

Without either of those, I couldn't notice even 
a blink of a window 'happening'. Yes, this needs 
to go into the FAQ, as it might be a source of a 
certain confusion (on fairly fast systems).
